sary, which is in November, will be marked with a tea party at the complex. Mr Hilder continued: “Some of the residents cannot get out and about, so we will hold our own celebrations here.” The flowers, which include perfection yellow and gold
marigolds, will have died by the time of the actual anniversary, but the resi dents of Well Court have a solution. Mr Jack Hughes, treasur

S
readers of The Sunday Times? It’s all stuff local folk are very famil
iar with, but that does not matter. This newspaper will continue to seek out the good news, which is often overlooked, sometimes for good rea
son. The Sunday Times saga started with
the paper slamming alleged industri al polluters, including the local Cas tle Cement works, two months ago. This was followed up later by another newspaper, and a good many people found inaccuracies in that one unfair and annoying. But, in the meantime, a Sunday Times travel writer said in his “A

included the castle, the-railway sta tion’s Platform Gallery, Byrne’s wine
shop and Cowman’s sausages. Now the forthcoming Ultraframe
share flotation is hitting the head lines, and the fact that Clitheroe Royal Grammar School ranks 28th academically out of 4,000 state sec ondary schools was also trumpeted
by the paper. The business article about Ultra
frame had one or two inaccuracies, but reflected well on Clitheroe and Mr John Lancaster’s hard work, drive and skilland on his large team. He wants to “incentivise” them, and
the flotation will help that. The education article, in notebook
style, placed CRGS second out of 12 in the North-West after Lancaster Royal Grammar School. It revealed
that there are 1,102 pupils, head Mr Stuart Holt is aged 53, there are 34 men and 38 women teachers, and cooperation and trust is promoted,
with few rules. CRGS has three applications per. j

I standing, we also find here a funda mental issue for people of faith: is my faith not only worth commending to others (and in this sense all Chris tians are called upon to evangelise—
| spread the Good News of Jesus Christ), but is it such that it is the only true/valid faith? All others are then by definition both invalid and
untrue. Obviously such a position does not
encourage toleration. If you genuine ly believe that your faith is so absolutely right and that all others therefore are absolutely wrong, then you must believe that you would be doing people a favour by putting them on the road to truth and taking them from the path of falsehood. Of course, such exclusivism is not only to be found between faiths, but with in them as well. The Catholic who believes the Protestant to be in error, or the Sunni who believes the same of theShi’ite. The Roman Catholic Church; at Vatican 2 in the 60s, made a relative ly generous assessment of other faiths when it declared that it rejected "nothing which is true and holy in these religions.” That at least is a start, and there are many people of faith, and not only Christians, who could learn from it. If God is God, then any understand
ing we have of him will be partial. Directly we think we have grasped him (by our understanding) what we have grasped is not God at all. The title of the popular Christian classic
“Your God is too small” puts it exactly. God approaches us and people of
faith respond in faith. But if that response causes us to be so proud that we sneer at the responses, strug gling as they are, of other people without recognising the inadequacies of our own, then our God really is toe small. Indeed, what we think is Got is no god at all, it is merely a reflec tion of our own prejudices. But Goe is more than we can comprehend, an< when we approach him, we can onh do so on our knees. That is a reall;
good position to be in when we speal Faith to Faith.
